Laci is 6!

Laci Jane is 6 years old today!

I remember where I was when they called me. I was on shift in Operating Room 2 at LDS hospital. We thought we were "done" having kids. Two was a good number for us and we had gone through enough stress with Landon's adoption that we decided we were "done". We had told DCFS not to call us anymore. But when Cullen's mom had another baby that was available for fostering, they called us so they could keep siblings togethers. They said they had a 2-month-old baby girl! Surprise! I called Josh and he said, "well, you've always wanted a girl!" I called DCFS back and told them we were interested. The only draw back -- we couldn't get you until the next day. When I picked you up, you were so bright-eyed. You had the tiniest nose of any person I had ever seen. You were so cute! (you still are!)

Thank you for joining our family! You have definately added personality and spunk to our family. You have always been VERY determined and energetic! These qualities will work to your advantage throughout your life.
